Awesome job, everyone! Good luck!

Dang... I always say it but this time I honestly can't decide which one to vote for... I've got it narrowed down to three and that's as far as I can get.

Pics for Cab 6 – front and Cab 6 – side are renegade dogs that don’t match the rectangular Owyhee Cab 6 in the group shot.

Tell me my ancient browser ain’t seein’ things. (freaked)

Consider the Earth’s history as the old measure of the English yard,
the distance from the King’s nose to the tip of his outstretched hand.
One stroke of a nail file on his middle finger
erases human history.

Congratulations agatewhisperer on an overwhelming victory in the contest. Your thunderegg agate cabochon is simply fantastic and is well deserving of a decisive win.

Please PM your information to oldschoolrocker who graciously offered up a fantastic rock prize this month and also have a look around the RTH Store and let me know what catches your eye.

Also, please don't let me forget to ask you for the theme for the April contest - I'm getting bad about letting that go till the last minute and it needs to stop (lol)
